SVCD2DVD v2, Programm hangs

[kasimir]

Hallo Users,

i had a problem with the latest/final revision. I used the programm some days with no errors, and now, since today, it freezes after startup. It is not possible to click any buttons or drag and drop files into the asset. The only way to close the programm ist with the taskmanager. I dit uninstall and a new install three times, with no succes. Any hints for me?

System Win XPSP2 home.

Can you try deleting any dnb_xxxx.xml files in the SVCD2DVD folder to see if that resolves the issue?

After the new installation of the programm i had no dnb_xxx.xml files.

I have complete uninstalled Net Framwork and made a new installation of it (Rev. 1.1) with all service packs and fixes. With no succes. SVCD2DVD rev. 2 will not work.

I have installed SVCD2DVD 1.51.2.0 and it works with no errors. What's going on? What can i do??

[ChrissyBoy]

Email me & I will try to debug this issue with you.

did this get solved?

Just tried to use this proggie after donating.

Have NET v1.1 installed

When I run v2 just hangs and I am unable to do anything

It is a new clean install so no .xml files in directory

running win2k with 1024MB ram on a 2.8AMD if that helps at all

Thanks in advance

At what stage does it hang? Splash screen or does the program open properly?

[Scarygeezer]

quick reply surprised me 8)

Splash screen comes and goes and programme main window opens up fully. After that i have no control over anything

[ChrissyBoy]

Do you have an hour glass cursor at this stage?

What do you have for the following keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Badger I.T.\SVCD2DVD 2.0 in the registry?



Can you change the EnableTimers setting to False to see if that makes a difference?

[Scarygeezer]

that key did not exist in registry so I had to add it

made no difference whether value was set to true or false

No I don't have a hourglass, normal mouse arrow appears almost immediately after program is opened.

[Scarygeezer]

wondering whether a re-install of everything may help

What about the debug counters?

Can you rezise the application window?

debug counters were there wih same values as yours posted

I can resize using the top right buttons but the application is very slow to respond and re-draw of screen is painfully slow. I can also minimize the windows but can not recover from minimizing and have to close the task manually

[ChrissyBoy]

When you minimise - do you see the football in the "notify tray" at the bottom right? Double clicking on this brings back the normal window...

the football was there but application wouldn't recover from there.

I could not get normal window back at all

[Scarygeezer]

in fact, if i leave it long enough, application tries to recover but after 5mins, application window still hasn't redrawn properly

[ChrissyBoy]

ok. What is the task manager showing? Is a single process hogging the CPU?

[Scarygeezer]

hhmm, 100% cpu usage with no programs running which is kinda weird. Maybe have some other stuff going on that i didn't know about, lemme check wtf is going on elsewhere

[ChrissyBoy]

What about processes?:

[Scarygeezer]

thanks for ya help, seems problem was my end after all.

had a services.exe running 100% cpu all the time

now i sorted that problem out, the proggie runs sweet

fingers crossed i can get on and sort all these svcd's out now

Once again, thanks for your help

[ChrissyBoy]

How did you sort it out?

[Scarygeezer]

How did you sort it out?

I used various tools to list process to files trying to find the rogue services.exe. After this, i booted in safe mode and deleted the rogue file. Cleaned up registry for instances of the file.

This was after about 3 hours of reading various web sites, a google for services.exe @ 100% gives a large amount of replies!
I'm now running at approx 2% cpu usage and everything appears to be working okay.
